We had a massive amount of youtube links posted on last thread. That must be it.

>>41437150

So did RITTA TAINAKOBA make it to the top of that Russian site? inb4 trollvotes were noticed and she was removed from the list

Ok I admit. I lol'd.

>>41437484
last I saw she was at 5th place

God, I hate when old video games don't work properly. I guess I could start watercoloring Justice Jun...

>>41438087

Yeah seriously. I found a bunch of my old PS1 games the other day(shit like Lunar and Grandia) and my PS2. I got all excited about playing them only to realize I needed a PS1 memory card for any of it to work.

Start that watercolor bro. I'm really looking foward to seeing it in color.

>>41435109
>Not really. The program and models are pretty basic. I think RAM is most likely to bottleneck you in this rather than CPU or GPU

>>41435109

>I can confirm what
>>41435359
>said. My computer is a 5 years old laptop and I only upgraded the ram to 3 GB. MMD runs fine without problems.

Ok thanks guys. I think I might fiddle with once I have free time. Though if it's not a problem can you refer links on where to get these including the models.

>>41438367
I had a similar problem. Dug out my PS1 and found the memory card was dead.

Do PS2 memory cards happen work on PS1?

>>41437576
Damn right

>>41438087
Which game?

>>41438367

I'm just stuck on the dreaded Error 52 of Quest for Glory 4 (dreaded to anyone who played the game). Anyway, fine I'll start on the watercolor... Suggest colors for her outfit, please: shirt (and its elastic on the arms), cape, moon clasp, belt, buckle, logo, mask, gloves, and thighhighs.

>>41438475
nope, only ps1 cards for ps1
also ps1 games in ps2 only save on ps1 mcs

>>41438598
Oh ok, I thought that you could use PS1 memory cards on the PS2 but not the other way round. I was clutching at straws really, I was hoping I could get a PS2 card. Guess I'll have to open it up and see if there's a battery that can be replaced. The system doesn't even detect that it's plugged in

>>41438475

No they don't unfortunatly, which was my problem cause I started playing Lunar on my PS2 and tried to saved only to see "memory not found." I looked online and learned that memory cards weren't cross-compatible so Sony could milk the money and was very disappoint.

I was gonna go find one online but I got busy then lazy and forgot about it.

>>41437484
Freshly made from photoshop.
March on, comrade Rita Tainakoba!

>>41438578
Give me a minute, I'll figure something out.

>>41438578
Why not the classics, red, blue and yellow?
shirt: blue
and its elastic on the arms: red
cape: blue
moon clasp: yellow
belt:blue
buckle: yellow
logo:white?
mask:blue or black
gloves:blue
tights: red

>>41438578

Original /r/ster back again lol. I imagine her having a "Robin" style color scheme: Black gloves, mask, skirt, and cape/ Red shirt/ Yellow logo and moon clip.

I'm no expert on watercolor though, so idk what colors work well together when doing so, so feel free to get creative.

>>41438858
what does guieroi sovietskogo soioza mean?

>>41438578
First of all actually, what are we going for.

When you see this, her colors are going to make you think different things about her depending on what they are.

So are we going for strength or mystery or energy or what? What do you imagine Justice Jun being like?

>>41439089
This is what I thought as well, but when I google imaged Batman and Robin I felt sick.

Fuck you internet.

>>41439155
Герой Советского Союза = Hero of the Soviet Union. I was looking for random phrases to pun it there.

>>41439298
>to put in
dammit typos

Well, you guys figure out her color scheme, I'm going to start with her head. If anyone is interested at all, I'm streaming the painting, but keep in mind, art is slow, so it won't be terribly exciting. http://www.justin.tv/justicejun#/w/475409344

>>41439801
Woha, nice thing maybe i can learn a thing or two since im learning watercolor too.

Going to bed, see you later moebros.
I'll just leave this here:

I would drink Mugi's tea if you know what I mean.

It's not racism, it's truth.

>>41441181
Tea is for mugs. Dohohohoh

Quit your bickering,

It's time for a progress inspection!

How are all the anons who are working on fics, artwork, and improving their musical skills?

Made any progress and/or improvment?

>>41441817
Quick to defend a black man aren't we Mugi?

But seriously stop. Keep the racial stuff out of the happy K-on General fun time zone.

Wow.

This is my day

>>41442163
That was more just my way of saying I do not appreciate people making 'sup mugi' jokes, especially in the K-ON general.

>>41442160
I can now play No. Thank You! on hard in osu! It's an accomplishment to me...

>>41437377
I fell in love

Seriously, who has time to release threads like these 24/7? I guess I don't have any real complaints, but I don't think I'd bother personally

>>41442367
Gratz

>>41442367

L finally getting good at osu I see.....nice. I might start playing again (burnt myself out). Any K-ON bros still play? Tomahawk here btw.

>>41442414
OP is not the same all the time.

>>41442160
I'm giving up on guitar for now (chords are tough to learn) and switching to bass. I can play the easiest songs, like Gohan wa Okazu.

>>41442414
>I guess I don't have any real complaints, but I don't think I'd bother personally
Okey.. wait, what?

>>41442414

More Easy used to pretty much start every new thread, it's different now that the shows over though. Usually some anon makes it.

>>41442163

To tell you the truth it's not racism. It's racial discrimination.

>>41442160

Haven't done diddly shit K-ONwise. I've been trying to find a build-your-own ukelele set so I can make the glorious Yuikelele. Ever since I saw it I knew I must have one.

>>41439089

Hmmm... we seem to run into the problem of Comrade Jun... yeah, yeah, it's half-assed

We're still working on colors, suggest here or on the stream: http://www.justin.tv/justicejun#/w/475409344

>>41442493
>finally
Hey I've been good for a while now. It's just that specific map was a thorn in my side. The jumps with the sliders were annoying.

>>41442588

Is bass easier to pick up then guitar? Cause with all these anon picking up instruments, I though I might as well do so myself. But I can't decide on what instrument.

Someone wanna give me the pros and cons of bass, guitar, and drums(the three I'm considering)?

>>41442706
>Comrade Jun

Well fuck, you're right. Maybe if you left the moon white?

My other idea was for her shirt to be purple instead to match her eyes kinda.

Do whatcha want.

>>41442747
Yeah, bass is generally easier.

>>41442747
Guitar Pros: Most versatile instrument. Portable. Women want to fuck you.
Guitar Cons: Difficult to learn. Hurts to play until you develop callouses. Requires a lot of practice.
Bass Pros: Easiest string instrument to learn. Mostly single notes and only four strings.
Bass Cons: Heavy. The sound is mostly lost in the mix. Doesn't get the pussy of a guitarist.
Drum Pros: Loud. Cathartic to beat on skins. Important to the band. Gets as much pussy as the guitarist.
Drum Cons: Most expensive of the three. Not very portable. Requires rhythm (void where Caucasian).

I am posting in a thread!

>Easy

Nigga you crazy.

Don't have class till noon tomorrow. Fuck yeah.

>>41442845

You, what do you think of these colors? I was dicking around for like an hour and I think very highly of them.

>>41443245
>>41443135
It's generally easier because not that many songs have awesome basslines, mostly quarter notes and not a huge amount of variation in the notes.

Obviously no one can say what is "harder" exactly because different people find different things hard.

>>41443028
I'm going to sound retarded for saying this but it isn't really easier so much as it's less complicated. Basically you can do anything with a guitar that you can do with a bass but you can't do everything with a bass that you can do with a guitar... if that makes sense. Screw this I'm going to bed.

>>41443382
I like it. Saved.

>>41443435
That's actually what I meant. Less complicated, for most songs, and particularly k-on songs, because of the lack of chords.

>>41442747
I've been playing bass for 3 years now and love it, I wouldn't say it's easy, it REALLY depends on your style of music. ACDC for example, great band but the basslines are repetive and crappy that a monkey could do them. Led Zeppelin on the other hand, although not complex, The Lemon song gives you an idea on the difference between Basslines from a "easy" 2 note variation song to a song with scales, run offs etc. I started simple and have moved up into more difficult lines. The play stuff like Mio isn't easy and takes practice, but can be done.

Side Note, I'm replacing my old Ibanez SR300FM with a Fender Jazz soon ;)

Well it's not K-on, but it's a young female band from Japan.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzLLyMV3k_E&feature=related

I'm out. I need sleep now lol.

>>41443568
I don't know if I agree with that, although it depends on the songs, and type of music in general.
But I find the fingering is more difficult, cause the strings are a lot thicker, and the frets are a lot farther apart.
Also, you're the rhythm section, so you have to play right on time, which is a lot harder than a lot of people think it is.

bass is as easy as the song you are playing
play something like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmz1S-7xMBg
and things start to get harder.

>>41443568
Oh, and there a bass chords too.
For example, Blink 182 uses them quite a bit.

Actually, this good old-fashioned Jun color scheme seems nice too...

>>41443847
Make her shirt have the coloured sleeves, and white body as well, and it'd look perfect.

>>41443382

To be honest, the purple skirt makes her look kinda color blind. But then again this is Jun we're talking about.

Maybe if the skirt were black it'd be better.

No rush though. You can mess around with colors until you strike gold or just this would be fine.

>>41443847
Why not white shirt and blue gloves?

>>41443955
>>41443902

How about this?

Alright, I get it. I didn't mean to anger the expert bassists in here, I just wanted to help a guy who wanted to know which is simpler to pick up. I didn't say anything about mastering the instrument.

>>41444030
I like it and it fits the lack of fashion jun has.

>>41444030

Nevermind. I think this is perfect.

Go for it.

>>41443135
>>41443245

Guitar/Bass fag here.

Bass is easy ass hell to be passable at. Sure, you're not a master, but once again, it's hard to do that on guitar :3

Guitar is the more technically challenging instrument. Cry some more.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPLXsmE5xqQ&feature=related

anyone seen this yet?
probably one of the most awesome covers of Don't Say Lazy I have ever seen/heard.

>>41444200
>implying I like watching people wank off on a guitar to a song I love.

Some of his licks sound alright but not all of it sounds good for the song if you know what I mean

>>41444189

All right. That's what it'll be then. On a side note, this is TERRIBLE to try and do in watercolor, as black is not really good for trying to to more than a line or small spot with, but I think it looks pretty badass

>>41443407
>>41443435
>>41443650
>>41443729
>>41444055

Heh, I figured I'd get a bass debate outta that. Thanks for all the help though guys. I think I'm just going to start with guitar cause I have a shitty acoustic one laying around somewhere. I might pick up bass later to diversify though.

Any suggestions on easy songs to start off with.

>>41444450
May as well start off with some HTT, once you've got some chords down.
The guitar isn't too challenging, and there's tonnes of tutorials and shit on youtube.

>>41444200
I like his bass covers a lot more, personally.

>>41444197

Trivia: What episode is this picture from?

>Just downloaded Frostii's release of S!!
>Touchy in VLC (artifacts and crap randomly)
>Subtitles don't work in MPC
>mfw

Question fellow friends: Do you like your tea bitter or sweet?

Goodnight, k-on general. Sweet dreams.

The K-On generals are still alive?
Oh wow.

>>41445393
I think I'm the only on in here though....

>>41445416
I'm around

>>41445458
Then can I get some answers to my questions? If you're the only one here then it's up to you!
>>41445111
>>41445249
>>41445369

>>41445369
I like sweet tea
>>41445249
Are you using CCCP? Or what codecs are you using?

>>41445111
Not positive.

>>41445249
But seriously though, what's up with that Frostii release? Anybody else having issues?

>>41445566
I have CCCP installed but I can't get subtitles to work in MPC. It says they are on by default but there are no subs in the video. VLC plays the subtitles fine but it will randomly freeze the video and then artifact up when it corrects itself.

>>41445580
I only had problem with thora and i'm recently watching frostii's release of S! and it runs perfectly.

>>41445416
I'm still here.

>>41445369
Sweet!

>>41445566
Nevermind. I installed the latest version of CCCP and the subs work now.

Oh, and nice triple dubs by the way...

Is anyone watching Tamayura?
I saw the first episode (which, as far as I know is the only one that's been released yet), and quite liked it.
I figured it'd be right up my K-ON bros' alleys.

>>41446085

I believe someone released the second one a while back.

>>41446102
Oh right. There it is.
Jeeze, I'm just full of stupid posts tonight, it seems.
Ah well. It's good to know other people are enjoying it as well.

>>41446086
Looks good so far.

Looks like this threads hit...

The graveyard shift.

Dun Dun Dun.

>>41447211

Did someone say Graveyard?

>>41447211

Okay, time to wake up in 5 hours to go to school. Happy Justice Jun Day, now in color. I'll do a proper scan after school. /r/ster, I officially hate you for making me stay up so late, and love you for getting me back into watercolors. On a side not, it was the first time I've used a magnifying glass (for her eyes) when doing artwork.

>>41445111
S2 E1.

More? should I post a pic?

>>41448348
Good work.

>>41448348

Oh wow... Jun doesn't have a bad fashion sense... what are you expecting for me to type in here really?

I was thinking of getting a K-On figure/statue to put next to my gita stand. Moe-as-fuck Max Factory Mio was on the top of my list, but I don't think I can wait 'till next year. What do you think of this Hobby Japan Azu-meow? People seem to take issue with her face, but she looks alright to me. I know there's the Alter version as well... call me boring, but I just like the more conventional pose of the Hobby Japan one. What'd you moebros think? Any K-On merch you wanna share?

>>41449479

Looks similar to the Movic fig that I'm saving up for.

>>41445621
I think subs and shit are a bit pissy in Windows 7 (at least that's what I found).

reinstall cccp and tell it to re-register everything and autoload vsfilter

Also, here's another one for the Youtube archive. I only saw the in-episode performance of Tenshi ni Fureta yo in there. This one is a nice MAD.

Damn.. I really am bad with setting deadlines for myself huh...

I said I'd drawfag something related to Azusa's victory but I got terribly sidetracked..

Whats the connection with K-ON & the band Maximum the Hormone? (マキシマムザホルモン)

I noticed when I looked up their song "Koi no Mega Lover" video on YT that there was a lot of fan made K-ON vids with their song

winning at that russian site is more prestigious than winning at saimoe
If Ricchan wins she will be superior than Azusa, if she loses, she's still superior anyways

>>41453774
They're both rock bands, if you consider HTT a rock band.

>>41453841
HTT is a hardcore rock band, only for hardcore rockband fans like myself

>>41453774

None apparently


God, new album fucking when

>>41453774
inb4 MtH is the new Linkin Park

>>41453774
It's probably people just being copy pasta. Thing is they will see one good vid (that MMD one for example) and then they all bandwagon that shit and try to do their own spin on it.

>>41438858
>>41453799

Indeed comrade. Mucc Tainakoba will be victorious.

>>41453774

It started with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2pTweqylZg

So, we do know that the "в" in Тайнакова is an English "v" sound, right?

>>41455157
I don't know

>>41455157
Now we do, comrade Taynakova.

All right, a proper scan. Keep in mind that her eyes are really about 3 mm tall, so that's why they're not as detailed as they might otherwise have been. And if the /r/ster shows up: I'd like to hear your opinion.

>>41456190
Sup CWC

>>41456190
Nice.

>>41456190
Awesome. Only thing I might say is that maybe you could have left the shadow under her boobs. Also did you change the levels? Looks a little over exposed is the best way I can describe it.

Awesome stuff though man, I hope some other anons pick it up and she gets a bit of a following

Is it possible to get the first season in real 720p/1080p or is it just an upscale?

>>41456574

Yes, and no, if you grab the BD rips (Frostii or THORA) it'll be from a 1080p source.

I noticed that I missed a line, so I put it in.

>>41456557

It's the fault of the scanner, it overexposes all my paintings. The shadows are still there, but grey has a hard time showing up in the scans. Also, take a look at the bread wrapper, it disappears in places when it's entirely there in the painting. Take a look at this picture of it to see it properly, if lower res and more blurry.

Oh I see. I thought maybe you tweaked the levels to get the background white, cause on occasion that I've scanned shit, whites tend to look a bit grey.

Maybe your scanner is doing some kind of auto white balance and that's why it's like that. Maybe it's trying to make the paper white for you.

>>41457102

No, it's simply that the scanner's lamp is too bright, like taking a flash picture up close.

mfw the 2 day old HTTarchive already has more subscribers than my 18 month old Street Fighter channel

>>41457450

Holy HNNNNNNGHHHH

I didn't even register this the first time watching. Good thing I marathoned the series again. Not only are there so many good moments you only catch the second time through, it was also incredibly cathartic for me. I can let K-ON rest for a while now.

That doesn't mean I won't partake in fanwork faggotry though. Gotta get on that YuixNodoka story...

Reposting victorious Azusa while it's still relevant.

>>41457825
How about if we add Mio there, defeated as well, but lying her back on Azusa's right leg and smiling with her eyes closed?

>>41457917
Or Mio sat at the front, not quite defeated but keikaku doori

>>41456687
>>41456190

Just woke up to see that you probably spent all night finishing it. Sorry for keeping you up lol.

It looks perfect as far as I'm concerned. The coloring seems a bit bleached in a few areas, but looking at the photo it's probably the fault of your scanner.

I wish I could hug you through my monitor cause youre a real bro. Thanks for taking all this time to fill what was at the time a silly little request. I encourage you to keep on watercoloring or whatever art you can do cause you have some real potential. Looking forward to anything more ya do.

Gotta get to class now. Thanks again.

>Play Houkago live from 11 pm to 3 am

Ready thy tear glands.

>>41459059

I'm looking forward to the new songs. Finally we will have HTT's canonical full library from their high school days!

Their OP/ED pro-breakthrough hits are still better though...

I should probably bump this thread. We wouldn't want it to get deleted.

Okay. I'm officially ready for some more osu. Gonna make a room,

Mid-November

That new Blu-Ray volume out yet?

>>41458431

Hey /r/ster, if you're interested in the physical painting, let me know.

justice.junsuzuki@gmail.com

>>41464862

Hey thanks man. But I think you should hang on to it for now. Honestly I'd have no idea where to put it, and knowing me I'd probably lose it in like a day.

You can probably put it to better use for future reference or something.

If what you said about living near Bandai was true, then I actually live around that area aslo. So who knows, maybe I'll bump into you one day or something. So maybe give it to me then lol.

I'm more interested now on whether or not you're coloring that Azusa pic. If not, keep us updated with whatever art you choose to pick up, if any.

Also, I realized I got back from class and there's been ten posts in 4 hours... Sadly I guess the generals on it's last legs.

Anyone wanna take the time to update us on their fics, artwork, projects, and ukulele building?

Well then. What other anime do you bros like? I'd like to find something along similar lines of K-on. Doesn't have to be music related, I think the part I enjoyed most was the fly on the wall type feeling.

Not creative enough for any of that but I might as well post something for the sake of posting.

Been practicing guitar alot more (still can't play those damn annoying chords in most songs, but I can play the basic songs with only power chords etc.)

I want to start drawing but it will likely look like shit ;_;

Also finally, a question:
I can't buy any of this stuff coming out now and other stuff in general that's already come out (image albums, wallscrolls, figures and whatnot). How much would I have to pay extra to get them in a couple of months?

>>41466289

Nah, I'm done with the Azusa pic. It would be far too much work to do a watercolor of something I'm not interested in at all. The Jun thing was a proper picture, the Azusa one was a quickish sketch. But I definitely miss pencilwork more than watercolors. Watercolors are fun, but they take a lot more more time and are so much more... fragile, I guess.

Anyway, the reason I offered the Jun pic was because I now have two pictures, one I drew, one I painted, since the painting came from a tracing of the drawing.

>>41466753
I'm trying to figure out Miku Miku Dance. Damn, It takes quite a long time just to get the character in the right pose, I'm not even considering animation at this point.

Anyway, have a video posted in the last thread with some good animation:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t2-RwKz818

>>41467040

Most of that stuff would be the same price as it is now down the road. If it's something rare though, or if a figure gets sold out everywhere you'll end up paying a range from 120-150% usually depending on age and availability. Then you get stuff like a Chrono Cross figure I've been after for a long time that goes for $500-$700 now, but that's over 10 years old AND rare.

Thanks for the reply.

I remember you mentioning something rising up by a shitton of money but I can't remember what. It was likely only your sweatshirt.

I mainly want all of the music as the first albums I every actually buy legally. And wallscrolls/BDs/posters etc. for K-ON!! glory in my room.

Just wondering, can I buy my own blank BDs and burn thora's releases?

>>41467140

Oh alright. Hopefully maybe an anon will pick it up, or maybe I'll shop it around the drawfag threads. Heck if my good desktop computer gets fixed I might color it myself.

Keep that Jun pic safe though, cause I might want it in the future once I get my place and life cleaned and straightened out.

My hoodie and my Mio/Yui dakimakura were 200 and 400 percent markups because the hoodie was 1/500, and the dakimakura was rare and not likely ever to be bought... used.

Most things you won't have that sort of trouble with. One of my friends was interested in a long sold out Nagato Yuki figure and ended up getting it for about 160% its original price. Every item's value appreciates differently. The CDs are bound to be around forever for a reasonable price, though. Limited edition blu-rays so far haven't been terribly limited either, so it's really the limited production stuff you have to be concerned about.

>>41467436
If you did you'd have to re-encode the video to impose the subtitles on the video, and for 1080p that could take a long time

>>41466902

I'm keeping up with Fab Driver, Oreimo, and Index 2 this season.


As far as K-Onish shows, this >>41446085 Tamayura thing I looked up and looks interesting. Also that Nichijou OVA coming up looks pretty nice.

>>41467730
what do you mean reencode? As in switch the codecs it used? Wouldn't the standard MPEG4 x264 whatever files work?

I probably should have just googled that anyways, so that's what I shall do. thanks for help

>>41467899
Well the way the releases are is that you have the video itself and software overlays the subtitles over the video. The type of subs used aren't supported by bluray players (but you might be able to convert them to a format that is, so look into that).

So the solution is to hardsub it, which renders the subs on top of the video. This is permanant and they cannot be turned off, but since they are part of the picture, playback isnt a problem.

doom9.org is a good place to look, a lot of fansub encoders still hang around there. If you have no experience of encoding it can be tricky, but I know there are a few guides out there by some of the sub groups.

>>41467983
I remember having a program that hardcoded subs for you. I'll probably do that. Thanks for all the help I'll look into it in the near future.

>>41451797
Is that only their skins?

>>41468032
Dunno if stuff has changed since I was an encoder, but we used to use avisynth to load the subtitles and overlay them on the video. its basically a text script you write, and then you load the script itself into something like virtualdub or directly into x264.

You'll probably want a program called mkvextract too in case you need to pull out the subs to use them, but more importantly to extract the audio for conversion or muxing.

I can help you subbing and encoding the shit, but I;ve got no experience with Bluray, so I dunno the process for putting it in a valid container and putting it on disc so that it's happy to play. I presume you could hardsub the stuff and dump your mp4 into something like Nero and it would make a Bluray out of it. I dunno.

>>41468218
yeah, but there are other little things I want to get right (from loss of quality to some other little things)

What I used to do when trying to stream anime over my xbox was pull the subs out with mkvextract and then hardsub them with said program I found.

I'm positive you are right and that just dumping the mp4 in Nero although faster would probably put out less quality audio/video.

From what little I've googled: mkvs with AVC/AC3 content can become AVCHD files which will work with blurays and subs. I'm probably missing the whole point about you encoding the subs but once again, I'll research some more.

If I have questions later can I come back? hehe

>>41468823
I presume you will have to hardsub, that is unless there is now a program that can take the .ass script and turn it into Bluray style subtitles. If not then you will need to hardsub it which implies a loss of quality as there is no way to hardsub without re-encoding.

However, the bitrate you can use on Bluray is high (I think maybe 20mbps and those rips average 5mbps), so when you are re-encoding, set a stupid high quality level to minimise quality loss. That said, the quality loss we are talking about is minscule anyway.

Your best option is:
Extract H.264 from MKV
Extract subs from MKV > convert to Bluray format subs
Extract audio from MKV, re-encode to AC3 if it isn't already
Mux to mts or whatever the container format is used by Bluray
Drop the muxed file into Nero. It should figure out that it's a compatible file and place it on the disc structure without further re-encoding.

Second best option is same as above but instead of muxing the raw H.264 from the MKV, you will have to hardsub it first, then mux the hardsub.

Yeah, any questions hit me up. I know my shit, but I haven't been in the loop for 2 or 3 years, so I don't know what new tools are available. I still know all the general tools so getting shit in the right format shouldn't be a problem. Fortunately the process is much the same as it used to be, it's just getting the shit on disc that I've never done before (although I know the theory behind it)

I mean hey, you could even try the dumb approach. Just try dropping the MKV into whatever program and see if they'll do the work for you. As I said the allowed bitrate is so huge that it will retain 99% of the quality, so that might be worth a shot.

>>41469155
Holy shit, I must get Uraon!! now.

>>41469209
>>41469281
I'll likely try out that first option as it doesn't take too much time. I can't begin to thank you enough.

What chords are you having trouble with?

>>41470014
I didn't learn barre chords well because it wasn't the music I was interested in playing.

Mainly, it isn't any specific songs but little parts that can involve moving barre chords up and down the neck (I keep misplacing my first finger, but should be easy to get right soon). Also, when moving between barre chords to weird semi power chord-like things.

lol i dunno wtf but its entertaining

>>41470358
You should take this habit : Always place your fingers as a barre chord. A power chord ? Just play the 3 first strings. A 7th chord ? Lift your ring finger.
In that pic you posted, this is just "simple" barre chord, sometimes with arpeggios. Just keep the position, let you right hand do the job.
Ask question if i wasn't clear

>>41470746
that pretty much answered my question and I'll try starting to do so. What type of chord would the
---
-8-

-8-
-6-
chord be, and how would I play it?

>>41446085

Tamayura? What's that about?

>>41469626
Damn... I thought I'd subscribed to all the regular nico uploaders, but I missed one.

>>41471318
Usually, there's 6 strings on a guitar, so i assume you skipped the 6th.
This is basically a D#. Barre the 6th fret with your index, and the 4 last strings with your ring finger. You don't care about the last string. Note you can play this chord in the standard barré position, starting from the E string, 10th fret.
--10--
--10--
--11--
--12--
--12--
--10--

In the case your chord was starting from the first string, it'll be an A#9( ? don't know if it's the right number), but it's not used very often. Place your fingers as for the D#, one string higher.

>>41471782
>>41471782
no I skipped over the low e by accident. sorry. Also that feels like an awkward finger position since I have no guitar next to me. Oh well, I'll get used to it.

Many blessings for your help

The box set is out now?
Shit. I gotta pick that up when I get some money.
I asked this before, but I can't seem to remember (and the general is so slow anyways)..
Are the DVD and/or BR volumes able to play on a North American player?
And while we're at it, do the DVD volumes come with the extras like the wall scrolls as well?

>>41472674
I'll answer what I know. I saved that pic from a general thread. no idea if it's out. From what I understand, BDs came with a wallscroll each. (check the pic out) Jun's is the 4th one which comes out sometime soon.
Dunno about region locking, but ps3 is region free so there;s a plus.

>>41470456
>>41470456
This is fucking hilarious.

>>41472528
If you skipped the low E, that's an D#. This is a position used very often, you should get used to it. Flexibility, that's it.

I'm glad that helped you.
Please feel free to drop by the Gitah Studios IRC if you have questions, i'm always here, and not that much afk. Anyway, good luck with playing guitar, and don't forget you'll need practice,practice and practice. Try to have some fun too.
